Models of Terrestrial Locomotion: From Mice to Men… to Elephants? Justus D. Ortega Dept. of Kinesiology Humboldt State University What do all these animals have in common? Locomotion • • Complex interaction of the neuromuscular and musculoskeletal systems Comes in many forms: o Bipedal: o Walk o Run o Sprint o Hop o Quadipedal o Walk o Trot o Gallop • How do we study something so complex? Today we’ll discuss models of locomotion for walking and running/hopping • Whole body level- mechanics 1. Ground reaction force 2. Movement and mechanical energy of CoM 3. Behavioral models of walking and running Basic patterns in walking and running Walking - Double support: two feet on ground - Single support: One foot on ground Running -Stance phase: one foot on ground -Aerial phase: no ground contact Ground reaction force • Force exerted by the ground on the feet • Greatly affect energetics of motion Ground reaction force in walking Running Ground Reaction Force Center of Mass Motion Center of mass- balance point of body Center of Mass Motion Walking Running Velocity decreases Height increases Walk Velocity increases Height decreases Velocity decreases Height decreases Run Velocity increases Height increases Mechanical Energy of Center of Mass Mechanical Energy- Energy of an object related to its motion Two primary forms: Kinetic: energy in motion Potential: stored energy -Gravitational - elastic Kinetic energy (Ek,t) m v Ek,t = 0.5 mv2 m = mass v = velocity k = kinetic, t = translational Gravitational potential energy (Ep,g) mg ry Ep,g = mgry mg = weight of object ry = vertical position of object Elastic energy: energy stored when a spring is stretched or compressed Spring Rest length (no energy stored) Stretched (Energy stored) Compressed (Energy stored) Mechanical energy in walking Some kinetic energy Some gravitational potential energy Little work done against aerodynamic drag Unless slipping, no work done against friction Not much bouncing (elastic energy) Mechanical energy fluctuations in level walking Average Ek,t constant (average vx constant) Average Ep,g constant (average ry constant) HOWEVER Ek,t and Ep,g fluctuate within each stance Mechanical Energy in Walking Mid-stance KE minimized at mid-stance and GPE maximized at mid-stance Walking and Mechanical energy • 1st half of stance: decrease Velocity & increase Height o KE converted to GPE • 2nd half of stance: increase Velocity & decrease Height o GPE converted to KE • KE and GPE are out of phase Walking as Inverted Pendulum Alexander (1992) Vertical motion allows mechanical energy exchange Perfect Inverted Pendulum Single support phase Total energy Kinetic energy Gravitational Potential Energy Time (s) 60-70% of mechanical energy is conserved Work Total KE 0.2 J/kg GPE 0.0 DS (Ortega and Farley, J. Applied Physiology, 2005) 0.2 SS 0.4 Time (s) 0.6 Mechanical energy exchange and the cost of walking 200 70 60 160 Metabolic Cost of Transport (mlO2/kg/km) 50 Mechanical Energy 40Exchange (%) 120 30 80 0.5 1.0 1.5 Speed (m/s) 2.0 Effect of body size on mechanical energy recovery 11-12 years Cavagna, 1983 3-4 years As increase size, greatest recovery at faster speeds, but similar amount Mechanical Energy in Running Mid-stance KE and GPE minimized at mid-stance KE (J) Stance phase of running GPE (J) Total Energy (J) Time (s) But what about EE? Running: Spring mechanism • Ek,t & Ep,g are in phase. Elastic energy is stored in leg. Leg stiffness • Ratio of peak force to maximum displacement Blickhan, 1989 Animals maintain same leg stiffness across many speeds Farley et al., 1993 How do we do it? Effect of speed on leg spring As speed increases…. -Peak force increases -Compensate with greater angular excursion = CoM disp. Leg stiffness and speed in variety of running animal Farley et al., 1993 Stiffness Speed (m/s) Leg Angle Speed (m/s) Leg stiffness is proportional to body mass Animals can adjust leg stiffness for different surface stiffnesses Animal adjust leg stiffness so CoM movement is same Ferris & Farley, 1983 Running Robots ?
